A review by madarauchiha
Unnatural Magic by C.M. Waggoner

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

 I tried it, didn't like how little I read in the book, spoiled myself and OH YEAH this is hot dog shit.

 And boy howdy, it was bad. 
 
The spoiler for the whole plot.
 

Here's the deal:  There are two races, humans and trolls. Humans are humans in a pseudo-victorian era, trolls are great rich wizards who have two roles that aren't defined by gender and also resemble really muscular blue people and their sexual organs are their dimorphism. Otherwise they've got male torsos.  There are two main characters: a female wizard-to-be and a nobleman. The wizard-to-be gets to be apprentice wizard to the greatest wizard in the world and the nobleman falls in love with a troll and they fall in love.
 The author tries to shoehorn in a murder mystery that she doesn't have the skills to write.  

 

Sounds like hamfisted hamhandled intersexism and a pointless mystery and stupid pointless misogyny. Pass.
